most creditors give loans to people based on their ability to pay them back so that would exclude the poor. It's always been that way.

No offense, but you obviously don't understand the concept of lending money Crystal.

Crystal G, I don't know if you realize but what your saying doesn't make any sense whatsoever. You say they only give loans to people who don't need them right? Well tell me this what person who doesn't need to just pays interest for no reason to a creditor or bank when they could just pay for the item in cash and be done with it.




Actually, lots of people do that. I was in the mortgage business as an underwriter for 5+ years, and many people will take out a mortgage on a house because the interest is tax deductible, and it builds credit.

Not really. Anyone who still has good credit and a job can still get the credit they need. But all the bad loans given out in the last decade to people who didn't deserve them are coming home to roost and all the lenders are learning a hard lesson about giving out risky loans. Everyone got accustomed to being able to get loans they couldn't really afford, but now the market is taking care of this silly practice on its own. Simple economics really.
